Baker's Shop Sales Pie Chart

Example 2: On a particular day, the sales (in rupees) of different items of a baker's shop are given below.

ordinary bread : 320
fruit bread : 80
cakes and pastries : 160
biscuits : 120
others : 40
Total : 720

Draw a pie chart for this data.

Item Sales (in ₹) In Fraction Central Angle (Calculation)
Ordinary Bread 320
320720
=
49
(22%)
49
× 360° = 160°
Biscuits 120
120720
=
16
(17%)
16
× 360° = 60°
Cakes and Pastries 160
160720
=
29
(22%)
29
× 360° = 80°
Fruit Bread 80
80720
=
19
(11%)
19
× 360° = 40°
Others 40
40720
=
118
(6%)
118
× 360° = 20°
Total 720 360° (Verified: 160° + 60° + 80° + 40° + 20° = 360°)

How to Draw a Pie Chart Manually

Follow these steps to draw the pie chart based on the sales data:

  1. Calculate the Fraction of Total Sales: Divide the sales of each item by the total sales (720). For example, for Ordinary Bread:
    320720
    =
    49
    (22%).
  2. Convert Fraction to Central Angle: Multiply the fraction by 360° (the total angle of a circle). For Ordinary Bread:
    49
    × 360° = 160°.
  3. Draw the Circle: Use a compass to draw a circle of any convenient radius on a paper.
  4. Mark the Center and Start Point: Mark the center of the circle and draw a radius to start (e.g., at 12 o'clock position).
  5. Measure and Draw Angles: Use a protractor to measure each central angle from the starting radius:
    • Ordinary Bread: 160°
    • Biscuits: 60°
    • Cakes and Pastries: 80°
    • Fruit Bread: 40°
    • Others: 20°
    Draw radii to create sectors for each item.
  6. Label the Sectors: Write the name of each item and its sales value inside or next to the corresponding sector.
  7. Add a Legend (Optional): Create a key outside the circle to match colors or patterns to each item if using different shades.
  8. Verify: Ensure the sum of all central angles is 360° to confirm the pie chart is complete.

Note: The angles in the pie chart below are already calculated and visualized for you!
